Lam, T.H., Kung, I.T.M., Wong, C.M., Lam, W.K., Kleevens, J.W.L., Saw, D., Hsu, C., Seneviratne, S., Lam, S.Y., Lo, K.K. and Chan, W.C., wSmoking, Passive Smoking and Histological Types in Lung Cancer in Hong Kong Chinese Women," British Journal of Cancer 56(5): 673-678, 1987. In this case-control study of Chinese women in Hong Kong, 445 histologically confirmed cases and 445 age-matched neighborhood controls were compared. This study is hampered by the poor method used to select controls: a researcher simply visited houses near the address of the case until a woman of the correct age was found. Statistically significantly elevated RRs were reported for all major cell types with active smoking; significant trends between RR and amount of tobacco smoked daily were also reported. For nonsmoking women, a RR of 1.65 (95% CI 1.16-2.35) for having a smoking husband was reported; a significant trend between RR and amount smoked daily by the husband was claimed. When broken down by cell types, an elevated risk was reported only for adenocarcinoma (RR = 2.12, 95% CI 1.32-3.39). A significant trend between RR and amount smoked daily by the husband was also reported. No potential confounders were considered.
